Pictures From The Hood 3

Have never as an adult owned a pet of any kind...although as a child...there were
creatures aplenty...in our house on the banks of a tropical river. Some were pets...
like our monkey "Jack"...who would sometimes...at dinner time...from some region above
us...drop a raw egg in our midst...and on one occasion...may have showered us with
his blessings. There was at least one dog that I can remember...his name was "eighteen
cents"...named after the princely sum that was payed for him. There were other pets...
and some uninvited creatures...that from time...payed our house a visit...like...
believe it or not...snakes. I have a great real snake story that I'll tell here another
time. You would have thought that with all this "creature action" around me...that I
would have been a natural...for a house full of pets...but that never came to pass.
People...and their dogs...so much could be said about that...but...another time......
